Not sure how many chances each of us gets at love and happiness. Probably only once. But when it comes to you, you better seize it and not let it pass by. Before it’s forever out of reach and it’s too late.

SPRINGTIME

Among life’s desperate whims and paltry schemes
Or where passionate dreamers dream deathless dreams,
There is only one springtime of hope and love
And one chance at life to soar the stars above!

And while there are many who struggle and try
Never to see their chance at life pass them by,
There are few who ever soar the stars above
And live to find their springtime of hope and love.

For only once do the stars gleam and birds sing.
Only once is there ever a special spring!
Stronger than desperate whims and paltry schemes
Or passionate dreamers who dream deathless dreams!

So life carries on, and time is on the wing;
And though death must surely come to everything,
There is only one springtime that passes by,
And some dream of love dying to tell you why.

I hadn’t heard this song in a few years and after stumbling upon it this morning the sudden notion hit me to share it with all my friends, colleagues and clients. If you appreciate torch songs, meaningful lyrics and haunting melody then this gem by this master songwriter-singer just might make your day. Meanwhile, I daresay whenever someone wonders if there is a God, it’s sonic beauty like this song by Boz Scaggs that shows clear evidence to me that there is. Enjoy.
